1-Keep your travel times short as you build your economy. Place production buildings around your storehouse to decrease the settlers’ walking times; thus increasing production. To help you visualize this process, use the Guide to Building Set-Up by zugzug.

You will have more space as you clear your island. Re-organize later. Here’s how you can Move Buildings. You get 10 building licenses per sector you clear. Remember to build a storehouse and check your mail for the licenses.

Upgrade your buildings when you can so you can produce more resources. Check out the Upgrade costs table by Sinister-King so you can plan ahead. Don’t forget to upgrade the chain in the reverse order so you keep everything balanced as you grow your economy. Upgrade steadily as you can to produce more.

After level 15 you can build the barracks and train troops to clear your island. Use the Guide to Cleaning of Home Island by Trimy to help you clear your island without wasting resources. Remember to build (and upgrade) noble residences to make room for more population. You can make settlers in your provision house with bread (produced in the bakery).

Send your geologists to find mines and quarries twice daily if you can as you clear your home island. The Island Resource Guide by Draconaa and Dynuel shows you where the deposits are hidden. Remember to build a storehouse first.

Later on if you need more island space, you can open up building slots with the mountain buffs. The Mountain Removal Guide by Perwyn shows you where the slots can open up.

You can make fun buffs in your mayor house by collecting collectibles around your home island. Click here to read more about this fun feature. Certain collectibles can be found on the adventure islands only.

Adventure Guides:
Please note that the following adventure guides are guides created by the Settler’s community. In cases where a guide has blocks, Support will not replace troops due to a failed block. Please read the guide carefully before you decide to use it.

Send your explorers to find the adventure maps. This Guide to Adventure Map Find by the The Settlers Online Wiki shows the find rate for each search/map. You can also buy the adventure maps in the Merchant or trade in the trade office.

By now you might ask what in the world is blocking by Tage. In a block, you attack more than one camp at once with the objective of not getting intercepted as you defeat the leader camp. If you want to try it, start with easy blocks such as those found in the Dark Priests adventure. Use the tavern generals to block as they are slower. Then use the fast general(s) to defeat the leader camp while the tavern generals “block” the other camps. Practice makes perfect.

PVP is a new feature of the Settler’s Online Game. Here’s information from the Dev’s Diary and a PVP Tutorial by Ubisoft.

To get started you will need to build a Combat Academy and Combat Armory found on the second page of the building menu. Build the attack weapons, then build the attack troops and buy the marshals from the tavern. Now that you’re ready you can start the Training Expedition. Here’s a Guide by Moonlime to help you get started. Of course you may choose to configure your troops any way you prefer as the guide serves to give you an idea of what you need to do.

At any time during your gameplay, belonging to a good Guild, could help you to learn, make friends and advance further.

Here’s what you need to know about Joining a Guild - Guide by the Settlers’ Online Wiki.

Guilds have Guild Quests that pay you guild coins once completed so you can buy fun Guild items in the Merchant. Those items change occasionally via a community vote so be sure to vote when you can and collect those guild coins by completing your guild quests.

Use a [link invalid - removed] as a rough guide to help you decide the trade prices. Be sure to select the correct server and check the trades already posted before you post so you’re not off because prices change constantly.

You can also use a price list guide as another rough guide. Prices fluctuate so look for a price guide for your server that’s recent to help you set your prices. Also, search the trade office to see what’s already posted before you post your trade.
